Know your way around. To the uninitiated, the places of Benefits Street can prove confusing. But there are a few key places that you need to keep in mind when watching series 1:
 * Birmingham is just a little bit north of London and Britain's second city. It's known for having a widely multicultural society — one of the points of friction depicted in the show.
 * B18 is the postcode for the area in which the show is filmed. That's why the widely-visible street signs all have a red "18" affixed to them — and also why you'll see that 18 all over this page.
 * James Turner Street is the titular Benefits Street.
 * Winson Green is the specific part of James Turner Street on which the show was centred during series 1.
